The next- generation Ford Mondeo finally goes on sale this autumn, and What Car? is inviting readers to an exclusive preview of the new hatchback weeks before it arrives in showrooms.

The new Mondeo will feature a host of new technology including adaptive LED headlamps, retractable panoramic roof and a comprehensive infotainment package with internet connectivity. A 1.5-litre petrol Ecoboost engine will be introduced, while a 1.0 petrol and 1.6-litre Econetic Technology diesel are expected to bring class-leading fuel economy.

The hatchback and estate versions will go on sale at the same time, and a luxury-level version, called Vignale, will also join the range. If you're interesting in seeing the all-new Ford Mondeo and you're available to come to What Car?'s HQ in Teddington, Middlesex on Thursday, August 21, get in touch.
